It was a defensive struggle Wednesday afternoon, New Orleans, with his SEC champion Georgia Bulldogs struggling for the better part of four quarters against a heroic Notre Dame defense.

And Kirby Smart's Bulldogs played some defense of their own.

Notre Dame 23, Georgia 10, a game Tim Priester of Irish Illustrated, John Bryce of football scoop, a game that

turned because Notre Dame had a dominant special teams effort, a tremendous defensive effort,

and just enough offensively to offset what Georgia brought, which was a heck of a fight

defensively as well. Yeah, I thought, you know, from the opening series, I thought Nordame set a tone,

you know, putting Georgia behind the chains early on. Eventually they start throwing a football,

obviously, and connected on the big one over Christian Gray. But what a great effort. I mean,

we talked about, we talked about could Notre Dame stop the run without Riley Mills?

They stopped the run without Riley Mills.

They didn't out, outstanding job.

Gave up some stuff through the air.

And you're right, Tim.

I mean, Georgia's defense was a challenge.

Nordame had one scoring drive.

It was 13 yards, one play, one pass play.

But, you know, at this, at this level, at this stage of the tournament, it's just advanced,

and they did. Yeah, for me, I think it's, um, Notre Dame's the more physical team. I've said this

in instant analysis. I'll say it again right here. Notre Dame's the more physical team. I've said this in instant analysis.

I'll say it again right here.

Notre Dame is 2-0 against the SEC right now.

And I know, like, a little bit of it is trolling,
